As we prepare for Easter it is a time to gratefully thank, honor and praise our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, for His love and faithfulness.
It is God who ‘so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son’.  Incarnate Jesus came to earth to bring salvation to sinful mankind; to die a horrible death on a cross for our sins.  Because Hell could not hold this one and only innocent Man, He arose.  Now all those who believe in Him and His death and resuscitation there is forgiveness for sin and new everlasting life in Him; Christ Jesus.
 
“If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God.  Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. 
For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 
When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.”  Colossians 3:1-4
 
Dear Greetings readers, today I want to share a part of Colossians Chapter 3 for I am overwhelmed by God’s word.  (Verses 5-11 tells the Believer to Put Off the Old Man.  Please read them.)
 
The following verses encourages Believers to Put On the New Man.  It seems as though there should be an exclamation mark after each verse. Colossian 3:12-17 reads,   
“Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another, even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do.  Vs. 12-13
 
But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection, Vs.14
 
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. Vs. 15
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.  Vs. 16
 
And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.  Vs.17
 
This day let us, the new person in Christ, join together in spirit wherever we may be singing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs as we worship most Holy God; Father, Son and Holy Spirit.   
 
With grateful hearts we say thank you Most Glorious God; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit for Your love beyond comprehension! To think that we have been adopted into the family of God is beyond all we can comprehend.  How awesome is our God!  Amen
